Could you benefit from help resolving inner conflicts, achieving challenging goals, going through a difficult change, or improving communication skills to better relationships with family, partners and friends?

A weekly opening is available. I also offer EMDR Intensives. These 3 hour sessions combine the powerful benefits of EMDR and clinical hypnosis to help you leave upsetting thoughts and symptoms behind. In this highly supportive setting, you can let go of traumatic or bothersome memories. My clients say they haven't forgotten their past, they feel they can leave distressing events behind them, where they belong. I've added hypnosis to my toolbox to help you learn to calm your mind and body, and find your internal resources. You are naturally wired for healing. Together, we will move you into healing so you can enjoy your life.

Thank you for starting the process of growth and change and self knowledge. You have your own lived experiences that make you who you are. Even if it’s messy or tearful - I see it as wonderful. When you talk to yourself, I want to help you believe that you are a wonderful person. It’s ok if you aren’t there right now, but we can get there. I love working with teens dealing with pressures at school and young adults who are trying to figure out what it means to be independent.

My approach is to help families, couple and individuals create healthier, happier and more meaningful relationships and lives for themselves.

My goal is to provide each client a safe and supportive environment in which to express them self.

I value your uniqueness, and I will work to see, hear, and accept you as the individual you are. I believe our hobbies are a part of our identity and can facilitate effective coping and improved quality of life, so I work to acknowledge and incorporate your unique interests into our work together. I want to start our therapeutic relationship by learning more about you and what has worked for you in the past. Each of us has a history that informs how we see the world. It’s my job to help you notice with curiosity where the past negatively affects your present, and help you change the patterns that no longer work for you.

Navigating through life’s transitions can be both intimidating and overwhelming – and yet, this discomfort is often an essential step towards growth and positive change. I partner with clients who are feeling stuck in work, school, relationships, or other personal situations, and help them to think critically and often differently.

To survive in a traumatized, ego-centric culture filled with counterfeit images, we pay a steep price - trauma & pain in our disconnected bodies, loneliness & broken-heartedness in our relationships, an unmet longing for passionate, meaningful engagement with the world. Crisis, illness, pain, suffering & despair become the catalyst for change, awakening our yearning for a more courageous, authentic, embodied life. Speaking to us through symptoms, grief, images, longings, dreams- the soul calls us- beckoning us into the unknown, asking us to surrender what no longer serves us. I help people grow stronger and navigate this wilderness.
